Davis was on the flight to New Orleans and had been issued a room number. He had to have either; a: failed a drug test, :b committed some criminal act, : threw his jersey in the tuna’s face after practice….

Depending on the circumstances and our ST play so far…. GET HIM ASAP!!!!

I’m thinking Jerry needs to be calling down to Miami to get the inside scoop. Did Bullet mess up, get injured, or is this a courtesy early cut so he can land with another team?

We could use him on the cheap if his nose is clean. Maybe Miami Vice busted him!

He must have failed a drug test. That is the only thing I can think of for why Miami would cut him.

The Phinsider (SBNation blog) has a fanpost that says this:

Davis, who spent his first five years in the NFL playing for the Cowboys, signed to a two-year deal in the offseason. He was expected to compete with Yeremiah Bell for the starting strong safety spot, and contribute primarily on special teams.

But the emergence of Chris Crocker, who is presently starting over Jason Allen at free safety, and last year’s starter, Renaldo Hill, who is recovering from an ACL injury he suffered last October, made Davis expendable.

and he was the captain, that doesn’t say much how he can improve it this season.

If he was the best player out there, what does that say about ST? Since the ST sucked last season and he was the best, it doesn’t give much credentials for him. One player is going to make the whole team better?

If he was the best ST player, why would Dolphins cut him. Something smells “fishy” in Dolphin marina.

To pick up a guy just to be a ST guy is not a smart move. If it’s a backup safety and ST guy we want then we have one already in Dowayne Davis who happens to be younger and cheaper.

Mosely thinks Davis asked for his release because he wouldn’t start at safety:

I’ve heard from a source this morning that Davis asked for his release once it became clear that he wouldn’t be a starter in Miami. I’m shocked Parcells didn’t call him into his office and tell him to stop whining about playing time, but then, maybe he did at some point.

I talked to a Cowboys source this morning who said the team was doing its “due diligence” on Davis. In this case, due diligence means Jerry or Stephen Jones picking up the phone and asking Parcells what the heck happened.

As long as Davis isn’t injured or in trouble with the law, it makes sense that he’d land back in Dallas. The special teams unit is the weakest part of the team. Under coach Bruce Read last season, the coverage units weren’t particularly impressive and that has held true throughout the preseason.
